Does anyone remember Hacking boat, or if people still visit there. As kids we were taken there by our parents often on Sundays to have a picnic. We would catch the Ribble bus in Melbourne St and get off at at Whalley then walk through an old abbey then through the fields where the Calder is and arrive at the Ribble. It seemed a long way to go then but obviously wasn't. Sometimes we would get off at Gt.Harwood and walk across Whalley nabs to get there.but I didn't like going that way. Too much like hard yakka
